Dashboard User Shortcuts

Give every Odoo user their own personal shortcut bar on the home menu — no admin setup required!

Description

Dashboard User Shortcuts adds a beautiful Shortcuts section above the native Odoo apps dashboard. Each internal user can create, edit, reorder, and delete their own personal shortcut cards with a custom name, URL, and optional icon — all directly from the home menu.

Shortcuts open in a new browser tab, making it easy to reach external websites, internal Odoo actions, reports, and tools without modifying the global menu for everyone.

Zero backend configuration needed. Install the module, open the Odoo dashboard, and start adding shortcuts instantly. Each user only sees their own links — secured by Odoo record rules.

Key Features
Personal Shortcuts Per User

Every Odoo user manages their own shortcuts. No shared clutter — each employee sees only their own links.

Custom Icons & URLs

Add a name, URL, and optional icon image for each shortcut. Supports external sites and internal Odoo links.

Drag & Drop Reorder

Arrange shortcuts in the order you use them most with simple drag-and-drop on desktop.

Mobile Responsive

Shortcuts align with the native Odoo app grid on phones and tablets with touch-friendly edit and delete controls.

Native Dashboard Layout

Shortcuts match the width, spacing, and column grid of the standard Odoo apps menu below.

Secure by Default

Record rules and controller checks ensure users can only create, view, edit, and delete their own shortcuts.

How to Use
Step 1: Install the Module
Copy the module to your custom addons folder, restart Odoo, update the Apps list, and install Dashboard User Shortcuts. No extra apps or configuration required — only the web module is needed.
Step 2: Open the Odoo Dashboard
Go to the Odoo home menu (apps dashboard). You will see a new Shortcuts section above the standard app icons.

Step 4: Edit, Delete & Reorder

  • Internal Odoo links: /web#action=123, /odoo
  • Email & phone: mailto:support@company.com, tel:+1234567890
All shortcuts open in a new browser tab.
Screenshots
1. Personal Shortcuts on Home Menu
A clean Shortcuts bar sits above the native Odoo apps grid. Each user builds their own quick-launch panel without affecting other users.
2. Add & Edit Shortcut Modal
Simple popup form to set the shortcut name, URL, and optional icon. Edit any existing shortcut the same way.
3. Custom Icons & Letter Fallback
Upload a custom icon image, or leave it blank to show an automatic letter badge with the shortcut name initial.
4. Mobile View
Fully responsive on phones and tablets. Shortcuts use the same 4-column grid as native Odoo apps with touch-friendly controls.
